Front Cover
Liturgical Press, 1990 - History - 342 pages
By the time the first ecumenical council opened at Nicaea in 325, Rome as a city had flourished for a thousand years, and as an Empire, regarded as eternal and universal, had dominated 50-60 million inhabitants of the Mediterranean littoral and western Europe for over three hundred. This book illustrates the contributions of these councils in the development and formulation of Christian beliefs.
